31 + STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, JUNE ! TS STRANGE AFTER A SHLENCE oF Wotta Life! Wotta Life! — PO e i S T S BEDTIME STORIE Welcome Robin Bumps Head. ‘Who wrong of others always thinks From self-examination shrinks. “Old Mother Nature. ‘Welcome Robin was losing his appe- tite. He could think of nothing but that stranger he had seen several times. This strange Robin had a curious way of appearing and disappearing, and Welcome Robin was so jealous that he had made up his mind that the next time that stranger appeared he should e taught a lesson he never would for- get. Welcome sat close by the nest “THERE'S NO IMAGINATION ABOUT IT,” RETORTED WELCOME ROBIN. that Mrs. Robin was building and waited and waited and waited. And while he waited his impatience and his anger grew. But he waited in vain. Not a glimpse of that stranger did he et. “It's your imagination,” declared Mrs. Robin as she continued the work of building the nest. “There's no imagination about it,” re- torted Welcome Robin. “I've seen that fellow as plainly as I see . “Then where is he now?” asked Mrs. Robin, who was beginning to lose pa- tience, “I don't know,” replied Welcome. “I WE FELLOW WHO VSEDTO TAKE THE AILLS IV THIS BY THORNTON W. BURGESS where he was, I wouldn't be sitting here, waiting. I would drive that fellow so far that he would never come back. Yes, sir, that is what I would do.” “HuH!” exclaimed Mrs. Robin, | went for some more material. It was then that Welcome Robin changed his position. He flew over to the spot where he had been when he last saw the stranger. Every time he had seen the stranger Welcome Robin had been sitting on this particular branch. He hadn't noticed this, but it was a fact. Now the instant he alighted he saw the stranger. Welcome puffed out his feathers and glared. But he didn’t puff out his feathers and he didn't glare any more than did the stranger. Welcome wasted no time. He flew at that stranger in a fury. If he expected to see that stranger turn tail and fly away, he was disappointed. The stranger did nothing of the kind. It was clear that he was willing to meet Welcome Robin half way. He flew straight at Welcome as furiously as ‘Welcome was flying at him. and Bang! Welcome Robin had bumped his head. He didg!t know what had happened. He wi too confused to know what had happened. All he knew was that he had received a dreadful bump on the head. It had been such a hard bump that he had fallen to the ground, but it had done him no serious harm, and in a'few minutes he had quite recovered. Then he looked for that stranger, But the stranger wasn't to be seen. “I guess I taught that fellow a lesson that time,” declared Welcome as he flew over to sit where Mrs. Robin was 50 busily at work. “I don't believe we'll see him around again. He certainly hit me an awful blow on the head. But I guess I hit him just as hard.” “What are you talking about?” asked Mrs. Robin, who was beginning to lose patience. “You must be crazy, Wel- come Robin. There isn't any stranger around here, and there hasn't been.” “Then how did I get such a blow on the head?” demanded Welcome. “Tell me that, if you please. My head aches this very minute.” But this was something that Mrs. Robin couldn’t tell him, so she went off to look for some soft, dead grass that she needed in the building of that nest. don't know.

MADISON, Wis, (P)—It now de- velops that the Norwegians, not content with claiming that Leif Ericson should be hailed as the discoverer of America, contend that the continent was named for Erik the Red, Leif's father. This discounts the belief that the name came | from that of Amerigo Vespucei. They argue thus; “Amt” in Norwegian means “land.” Hence “land of Erik” |and eventually “America. Also, the descendants of the Vikings, and there are many in Wisconsin, argue that Erik has as good a claim to the discovery of America as Columbus, HONES' “TROOLY COULDN'TCHA MOVE YOUR HAND BVEN MUCH?
